@prologic well, you have a Mac Studio, and I have no Mac, at all. I would happily trade my iPhone 16 Pro for an 11 Max, if I had a Mac Studio. :-D
Weirdly enough, your avatar doesn’t seem to be working here.
Having a blast with Apple's Image Playground. :-D
@lyse the nympho part got me excited, but the thought of seeing her naked truth, and the typos, were a huge turn off. :'-D
@doesnm interesting! A shell BBS with a handful of C code.
@lyse how about just twtxt? Is the extension really needed?
@anth that is, a Taiwan text file?
@movq LOL. I see flamingos, and I think of old people (group I am about to belong soon [well, kid says I am already there]), and pastel colours. Very stereotypical. :-)
@movq LOL. I see flamingos, and I think of old people (group I am about to belong soon \n), and pastel colours. Very stereotypical. :-)
@lyse ooooohhhh, colours! 💖
@lyse that's the driveway ramp for the house next door. :-)
@johan and a running web server (or Gemini, Gopher, though those might not work for everyone).
I don’t think a domain name is needed, but a public IP address.
Someone in the neighbourhood is ready!
Christmas decorated house.
@prologic “no show, however good, could conceivably be good for ever.” ☺️
No worries, holidays will be back again sooner than you think.
@eapl if your point is to state that the extension is redundant, why “twt.txt”, and not “twtxt”?
You can call it whatever you want, that’s the beauty of it. There is no need to set a “standard” for this. To prove it, I will setup one feed, and name the file “sørenpeter.txt”. 🤭
Less than 30 minutes for Path of Exile II, and the queue of players waiting for the servers to open the gates is now at 22,525. More than 1 million have purchased the early access to the game. It is going to be a rough ride!
@wbknl "The shocking untold story of the elite secret society of hackers fighting to protect our freedom – “a hugely important piece of the puzzle for anyone who wants to understand the forces shaping the internet age." -- which edition?
@prologic which models do you prefer, and what made you prefer them?
@prologic believe it or not, those green leaves and vines are eatable! Nice view, mate. Love the skies and mountains at the horizon!
@movq IMO, I believe it is all in the quality of the client (mobile, and web). Also, you don't have to hunt/pick for "instances", which arguably presents less friction.
@movq hahahahahaha! I will try to incorporate that one when I complain about AI imagery. Like, "Stop fucking using that AI shit, mon, I am an Kunstliebhaber!
If there a name for those of us who dislike AI generated imagery, or for the dislike of AI generated imagery in general? A composite German word would do! :-)
@prologic got to say, after visiting castles, shrines, and similarly antique places in Japan... no comparison. :-) Wife agrees.
@prologic because of his decision to declare martial law (which attempted to ban political activity and censor the media), seemingly out of the blue.
@skinshafi it is limited use, for now. I read somewhere (can't remember now where) that efforts were being made to make it to function across all Tildes, but it hasn't gotten too far, so it seems.
@prologic the South Korean president is facing impeachment. The president declared martial law to protect the country from North Korea and eliminate anti-state elements. However, the declaration was seen as a response to domestic pressure and scandals. MPs blocked the declaration and forced the president to reverse his decision. The president's defense minister resigned and the president is now facing impeachment proceedings.
@aelaraji ah, yes! The thing is, I have too many broken pieces already. 🤭
@prologic is zs a web server? I see on the source of the page that is simply posting to /cgi-bin/hello, and some JavaScript to get the value of that post, from the same CGI.
@movq Mastodon offers the "deluxe" experience, but it is a resource hungry beast, that can also be feeble as hell. I miss it, a lot, but am running GoToSocial instead because of its simplicity, and nimbleness.
Because, you know, the more the merrier! :-D
@prologic I prefer:
Coalition for
Universal
Needs
Truth and
Solutions
Worth noting that this is a local "forum". BBJ uses an SQLite database.
@prologic it is an hack and slash ARPG game from Grinding Gears Games. It runs on Windows (and will run on macOS too, eventually), and game consoles (Xbox, and PlayStation).
It comes out on “early access” in 6 December 2024.
Anyone around is thinking, or planning, to play “Path of the Exile II”?
@aelaraji if any of my twtxts are fed into a LLM, that would be some dumb one, for sure! LOL.
@prologic there are much, much worse, no sarcasm! :-D
@prologic hahahahaha! You saw, pretty much, South East Asia now, in a nutshell. :-P
Scammers and impersonators are everywhere. Even in small communities like ours!
@prologic you have got to walk more! Have you been to the mountain carved temples? Have you meandered into town, and fought the daily traffic? :-) Dew it!
@movq nice pic, I like the monochromatic colour, and its minimalism!
@movq you can edit, and/or delete on Mastodon. Depending on the client, you could also post in batches. There is a solution. :-)

> When people are harmed in traffic, we do not ban roads. We build better roads, and introduce speed limits. But in Australia they are now removing all access to social media for children under 16 years of age.

> It would be much more constructive to have skilled experts define what a safe social media environment for kids looks like, and implement that environment instead.

@prologic right, I don’t follow him. But I don’t follow a bunch of other people, and it’s the first time this happens.
I don’t know about you guys, but what’s wrong with vCal and iCal? I mean, you do know you can buy paper calendars, right? 🤭
Something broke here, @prologic. I will remind you when you return. :-) Ignore for now!
@ Ellen G. White. 🤭🤭🤭 “The Prophet“ of the Seventh Day Adventists.
@prologic very nice! Far away from pollution, enjoy that pure air!
@prologic the French style city nearby. The Buddha temples in the mountains nearby. Boat excursions.
Da Nang is one of the cleanest, safest cities in Vietnam, meander!
@prologic I sent you a message:
> Wife has only one piece of advice: careful with what you eat, and drink, as everything has the potential to make you sick. 😅
@prologic hahahaha! Unless you flight often, and on certain airlines, Internet connectivity will always be pricey. In my case family had to have it, so... yeah. Empty those pockets!
@prologic oh wow! How many days in Vietnam? You should have told me, my entire family (wife side) is Vietnamese! :-D
@abucci LOL. I wondered what took you so long to come by this one! :-P
@movq LOL, good thing GoToSocial is unaffected. "Trending" doesn't exist here.
@prologic anyway, have a nice flight, take pics in Taiwan, show us! And... enjoy, everything is fine here.
Aha! At least it is linking right. I think @prologic was right, it is fixed!
@ fixed, or not? I figure not.
@prologic take pics! Show us! I want to travel through your phone lens! :-)
@prologic cool, your fist time going to the Republic of China?
@prologic I know you love it, but I hate ClownFlare.
@prologic they didn’t. They simply didn’t set a nick metadata.
@prologic to interact with locally running LLM, which software are you using? LM Studio, or Ollama, or...?
@lyse pythons, once or twice (while driving through the Everglades). Iguanas many, many times. I have family living in Cape Coral, and they have lots. They hunt them every once in a while, but they are too many, and peace doesn't last long. They eventually come back defecating everywhere (they seem to like to do it in boats, to the annoyance of my family, LOL).
South Florida, and the keys are full of invasive iguanas, sadly.
@lyse wow, such a lovely day! I also liked the cat very much.
Lyse took this pic.
@@chyrp.doesnm.cc hello there! :-)
@lyse no need to feel sad! They are an invasive specie. Granted, it is pretty much 100% human fault, yet very much out of control right now. Just like pythons.
@prologic just nerds being nerds. "Nothing to see here, move along." :-D
@prologic ha! An iguana, right? There are so many in Florida, people are encouraged to shoot them.
@prologic I don’t often see avocado on a pizza, but I have to say I wouldn’t mind it. At all. Looks luscious mate!
@prologic you should do it in PHP, or RoR. It is supposed to be a challenge after all, no? :’-D
@james oh, forgot to mention (and totally off topic), the shorter hair suits you better, with a light, to none, beard!
@james wow, it has been a while since I saw you on this feed! It reminds me of the good old testing days. :-D
@sorenpeter if you can, could you directly link the video in which you presented? I tried searching for you in all of today’s videos but failed.
@prologic you can keep them online (public, or not), or offline. Mine is offline.
@prologic it is a compendium of notes and articles, and knowledge base, etc., one keeps on Markdown. Using Obsidian allows you to interconnect them as needed. It is a very powerful tool.
